Used this on a fairly large project built out of pine wood. Used templating, flush trim, and round over bits. They all worked just fine. No problems with burning or chipping.

A reasonably priced attachment for doing small jobs much quicker than with chisels. I have a full sized router but at times it is too cumbersome to use.

Good little router for smaller jobs. I have a full blown craftsman router, but the price on this with a Christmas deal was too good. I have only used it twice now in a week, but great for smaller jobs, or cleaning up an edge of something without having to bring it to the garage for the big router. Note... there are no router bits in the package with this. (at least not in mine) so you will need to buy those separately.
Columbia, CA
Another convenient bolt on attachment that is quickly available to do the finishing work on my projects. The router has handled all my projects very well and provides a good finishing touch. The router head performs as expected and I am very pleased with this attachment.
Peoria, AZ
via sears.com
The first time this was used on a project, I had practiced on scrap lumber. It seemed to work OK. But when I set up a guide made of wood and tried to use this, it was hard to handle and the plastic guide on the router actually melted where it made contact with the wood guide. I exchanged for the drill/driver but have not used it yet. I love the basic drill and have a hard time keeping it away from my son. If it ever comes up missing, I'll know where to look. But the router attachment isn't worth it.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Exactly what we wanted
Military Themed - Marines (USMC) Save the Date Magnets We love the save-the-date magents. The design was simple, and exactly what we wanted. Also, the price was great!
great as stickers
Military Themed - Marines (USMC) Address Labels Instead of using this as an address label, we wrote a thank you sentiment with our names and the wedding date and stuck them on the treat bags we put on the tables for each guest. They turned our very cute! Quality was great, no faded or missed letters in the printing like you hear from other websites.
Love the military theme
Military Themed - Marines (USMC) Save the Date Magnets Everybody loved my magnets. As a soon to be wife of a Marine Corp Officer these were the perfect fit. My only disappointment is that the wording looked much bigger on the screen and the red looks a little more brown on the printed version than red. But I do love the magnets and the matching labels and am looking forward to ordering my table tents and place cards from Magnet Street. They offer free samples so I suggest you order them. I did and now will be making another purchase. Thanks Magnet Street for having military themed items!
Military Themed - Marines (USMC) Save the Date Magnets I would recommend Magnetstreet.com to anyone. They gave me great service and a great quality product. I was able to easily change the magnet to my wedding colors, and it was perfection! I'm looking forward to sharing my save the date with family and friends. They also delivered in a timely manner. What bride couldn't appreciate that!
Military Themed - Marines (USMC) Save the Date Magnets These STD magnets came out so cute! This was the only place I could find USMC themed STDs. I would definitely recommend.

Blue Ocean Fellows
We've created a Fellows Program to bring new people with established reputations and recognized voices into the Blue Ocean ark. Blue Ocean Fellows are accomplished and innovative authors, artists, conservationists and scientists. They develop and articulate ideas that advance a much larger, and deeper, conservation discussion.
"Blue Ocean Fellows help boost our ability to be a thought-leading group, small in size and big in influence," says Institute founder, Carl Safina.
Working independently but inter-dependently as well, Blue Ocean Fellows create articles, opinion pieces, blogs, videos, workshops and other materials, greatly expanding our reach. Each Fellow is chosen based on his/her reputation and proven abilities to reach specific, key audiences.
Our four Blue Ocean Fellows are author and essayist Paul Greenberg, shark experts Dr. Demian Chapman and Debra Abercrombie and author, photographer and filmmaker, John Weller.
Paul Greenberg is the author of the James Beard Award-winning, New York Times bestseller Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food and other books. Greenberg is a regular contributor to the New York Times Magazine, New York Times Sunday Book Review and the New York Times Opinion page. He has also written for National Geographic, GQ, The Times of London, Vogue, American Prospect and The Atlantic, among many others. In the last five years, he has been both a National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellow and a W. K. Kellogg Foundation Food and Society Policy Fellow. In 2012 Greenberg won the Grantham Prize – Award of Special Merit and has just been named a 2014 Pew Fellow in marine conservation.
Just as Michael Pollan helped readers navigate the complicated politics of land food, Greenberg has been a major force in decoding the politics of seafood. All the while his accessible and entertaining style has allowed him to extend his reach to publications and news outlets that normally eschew coverage of the ocean. His articles and op-eds as a Blue Ocean Fellow have covered topics ranging from oyster beds as storm protection to Alaska's Pebble Mine and protecting ocean canyons from oil and gas exploration.
Greenberg's new book, American Catch is about how we lost and how we might regain American local seafood. American Catch is due to be released by Penguin Press in June, 2014.
Greenberg lectures widely on issues of ocean sustainability at diverse venues around the world. His book, Four Fish, has been translated into Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Mandarin and Korean, and is soon to be published in Greek and Russian.
Dr. Demian Chapman is a research scientist, shark geneticist and assistant professor at Stony Brook University (SBU.) Dr. Chapman's research expertise lies in molecular biology and telemetry tracking, which he integrates to address research questions related to the dispersal and reproduction of sharks and rays. He is particularly interested in how shark reproduction and movements impact population dynamics, population genetic diversity and geographic population structure and their implications for conservation.
Chapman is an accomplished researcher and an emerging leader in the field of shark conservation. He and shark biologist Debra Abercrombie (see bio below) are both outstanding communicators working across scientific disciplines and at the interface between science and policy. Chapman's specialty is molecular biology and wildlife forensics. He and Debra Abercrombie have been at the forefront of developing tools and resources to aid in monitoring and regulating the global dried shark fin trade. Chapman is helping small, island nations strengthen their ability to identify illegal shark fishing and enforce recently established shark sanctuaries.
Chapman and Abercrombie developed a shark fin identification guide that is now being used worldwide in workshops for customs and wildlife inspectors in charge of implementing new CITES regulations designed to protect 5 species of sharks from the global fin trade.
Dr. Chapman is the author of numerous peer-reviewed scientific research articles, and currently manages field research projects on sharks in Belize, the Bahamas, New Zealand and Florida. He has just been awarded a 2014 Pew Fellowship in marine conservation.
Chapman runs the Molecular Ecology and Conservation Biology Laboratory at in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) at Stony Brook University. Chapman's DNA lab is located near Blue Ocean Institute offices at SBU.
Debra Abercrombie has worked closely with Dr. Chapman on several shark conservation initiatives. She is a professional marine biologist with over ten years' experience working with sharks and shark fisheries. Debra also worked for the Pelagic Observer Program and as a Fishery Biologist for the Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Logbook Program, both at the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC) in Miami, FL. She has published peer-reviewed papers on the genetic identification of CITES listed and proposed shark species (white shark, hammerheads) and the global fin trade in leading journals such as Conservation Biology and Conservation Genetics. During the genetic testing of shark fins, Abercrombie was one of the discoverers of the fact that Chinese trade names for fins have high concordance with particular species, which implies that visual fin identification is possible. She also worked with the NOAA Office of Law Enforcement to genetically identify fins from prohibited shark species that were confiscated from commercial fishing operations in the Atlantic Ocean.
John Weller is a critically acclaimed photographer, writer and filmmaker whose work ranges from shark protection in Micronesia to Ross Sea (Antarctica) conservation. Weller has been a SeaWeb Fellow since 2005 and was named a Pew Fellow in Marine Conservation in 2009. His library of Ross Sea photographs has been used by conservation organizations all over the world, published in dozens of magazines and publications, including National Geographic; and showcased at the 2009 and 2011 Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings. Weller also produced a short film, which was a finalist in the 2010 Blue Ocean Festival. Weller works directly to promote marine protections around the world. An impassioned observer of nature, he has followed a path through the Colorado Desert to the waters of the Antarctic. He started The Last Ocean Project with Antarctic ecologist David Ainley in 2004, and has been working on Ross Sea conservation since. His latest book, The Last Ocean, was developed through close cooperation with scientists, policy-makers, and conservation organizations invested in the Ross Sea. Working closely with partner Shawn Heinrichs, Weller recently helped spearhead conservation campaigns in the Bahamas, Micronesia, and in Raja Ampat Indonesia.

If you've got a 4th generation iPod touch with a cracked screen or broken LCD, a DIY repair isn't impossible if you've got a bit of patience and some technical know-how. If getting a replacement from Apple is out of your price range and you'd prefer to just fix it yourself, follow along and we'll show you how.
Disclaimer: As with any repair, neither iMore nor PXLFIX can be held responsible for any damage you may do to your device. It's also worth considering that opening up your device to perform any repair or modification can and will void your Apple warranty. If you don't feel comfortable opening your device, don't. Use extreme care and caution when performing a repair on any device.
PXLFIX recommends using only quality and genuine parts from a reputable supplier like eTech Parts. They have quality parts, tools, and much more for all your repair needs.
Before attempting to open your iPod touch or perform and kind of repair, always power it off first. Just hold down the power button until the Slide to power off message appears on the screen. Slide with your finger and wait for the device to completely power down before continuing.
While other devices such as the iPhone and older iPod touches are held together with either screws or clips, the iPod touch and it's larger iPad sibling hold the display in with a strong adhesive. We'll need to soften it by heating it up before we can remove it.
There are a few areas you'll need to be careful of when attempting to pry off the iPod touch front assembly. Notice in the picture below where these areas are and use your pry tool and metal spatula with caution when moving around these areas so you don't tear any cables.
Once you've taken a mental note of the areas above and where they're located under the screen, proceed to the next step.
Before replacing the assembly or disassembling your iPod touch any further, now is a good time to clear out the frame from all the old ashesive and any broken glass pieces that may be stuck on the interior of the frame.
If you don't make sure all dust, debris, and glass is removed before placing in the new screen, it will not fit in correctly and you'll have to go back and re-clean it. In other words, make absolutely sure that you are removing all of the debris and glass before continuing. Feel free to use air duster to blow out any excess debris if needed.
Towards the top of the iPod touch is a retainer clip that holds the rear camera in place. Use your pry tool or metal spatula in order to pop it up and remove it. Set it aside for reassembly.
Underneath the camera retainer clip is a tiny piece of copper tape that's connected to the underside of the logic board shield. Use your metal spatula and your fingers to gently peel the tape back.
Do not completely remove it but just pry the part that is covering the rear facing camera off.
The logic board shield is also held down with a bit of adhesive that we will have to break but first we need to remove some screws.
We don't need to completely remove the rear facing camera but prying it up will allow us to lift up the logic board a bit more and make attaching the digitizer cable a bit easier.
Use your pry tool to gently lift the rear facing camera out of its opening and move on to the next step.
Even though we won't be removing the logic board, we will need to get underneath it in order to attach the digitizer cable for the new digitizer and LCD assembly.
Use your #00 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw screws labeled below making sure to place them in and order you'll remember for reassembly.
Now that you've removed the 3 screws along the top of the logic board we can continue on to prying up part of the logic board.
You do not want to remove the entire logic board but only pry up the top portion. Be extremely careful with this step as the logic board is fragile and can break easily.
There is a piece of copper tape wrapped around the digitizer cable that you'll need to remove in order to pry off the digitizer cable. Use your pry tool and/or metal spatula to pry up and edge of the tape. Then move along the other side and find the edge of the copper tape and peel it back.
Once you've gotten the tape removed from the front of the cable area, you can move on to removing the cable as the tape will come off with it.
While holding the logic board up with one hand, use the pry tool in your other hand to gently push down on the top of the cable until it pops off the bottom of the logic board.
Once the cable has popped off the underside of the logic board you can gently slide it out.
Peel off the copper tape that remains on the old digitizer cable piece. We will place it on the new one in a later step.
You will only need to perform this step if the replacement LCD and digitizer assembly you have does not have a Home button and camera shield pre-assembled. If it does not, use this step to transfer the Home button and camera shield to the new assembly.
This is the trickiest part of performing a DIY iPod touch screen replacement on newer iPods as the cable has to be fastened on the underside of the logic board. It may take a few tries so be patient and work slowly and you'll get it.
This step is the hardest part and don't get frustrated if you don't get it on the first try. Just feel around for the connector and gently keep trying to push upwards until the cable snaps into place. Once you've got it, move on to the next step.
Slide the copper tape you previously removed off the old digitizer cable underneath the new cable that is now securely in place. Double check to make sure you don't have it upside down. Now secure it around the cable with your fingers.
Once you've got the digitizer cable securely in place you can go ahead and gently push the logic board down and back into place and re-secure the rear facing camera.
Check around the frame to make sure all the screw holes are lined up correctly. It also doesn't hurt to push down on top of the digitizer cable firmly to make sure it's snapped completely into place.
Replace the 3 screws you removed earlier that run along the top of the logic board.
Once you've gotten the top 3 screws in place you can replace the logic board shield as well. Lay it into place and screw it back down with the 8 screws you removed previously. Once you've gotten it screwed back into place you can go ahead and push back down the copper tab at the top right as well.
Put the camera retainer clip back into place over the copper tape you just pushed back down and snap it into place.
Now is a good time to test the digitizer before applying any adhesive. Simply snap down the LCD cable on the top of the logic board that runs off the new assembly and then gently folder over the assembly.
Now hit the power button to make sure it powers up. Once the slide to unlock screen comes up, slide your finger and make sure the touch screen is responsive.
Once you've finished testing it just turn the iPod back off by holding down the power button and sliding to power off again. Flip the assembly back over and use your pry tool to remove the LCD cable.
If the touch screen is not responsive, remove the 3 screws at the top of the logic board again and make sure the cable underneath the logic board is completely secure.
If the LCD does not come on and you know the cable is secure, you may have a faulty assembly. Disconnect it and request a replacement one from who you ordered it from.
Before placing adhesive onto the assembly double check to make sure you have removed any leftover adhesive from before and that there is no glass or debris left in the frame.
If you have purchased a pre-cut adhesive kit, position the adhesive onto the assembly taking care to not get adheasive on the digitizer or LCD cables.
If you're cutting your own adhesive just make sure that you completely line the frame and have removed all the old adhesive. Use the picture below as a guide for where to place adhesive.
It's always a good idea to run a heat gun over the iPod touch one last time and push down the edges to make sure they are secure. I typically heat it up and hold down each edge for 30 seconds and repeat until all four edges and the top and the bottom have been held in for 30 seconds each. This will ensure a tight bond with the adhesive and prevent light leak or the frame coming up over time.
Now that you've got your new digitizer and LCD assembly in place you can power up your iPod touch and enjoy it again. Then, give yourself a pat on the back for completing a ninja level DIY repair.

Additional Resources:
Excellent tutorial / pics.
Couple things to add:
1. White screen and black screen are actually fairly common after replacing the display assembly on 4th Gen iPod touch. This happens with probably 10% of the time.
When it does, just hold the volume up key, the power button and the home button for a few seconds until the iPod resets. If you don't have the home button in place, you can improvise by holding down the contact with any metal object you have handy.
2. Connecting the digitizer can be a pain. An easy way is to peel back the front-facing camera toward the housing for the back facing camera and use it as a kickstand for the logic board. Then you can connect the digi by thumb!
If anyone has any further repair questions, feel free to contact me @ http://www.allmobilematters.com
Everytime I do one of these repairs I seem to find that the top left hand corner of the lcd/digitizer never stays completely flush (it sticks up a little bit) with the case like the rest of the screen does. Any tips or ideas why that might be?
Make sure you fold the digitizer cable like an accordion before pressing the display assembly down. If you don't the digitizer cable can sometimes get stuck between the glass and the frame causing it to pop up a bit. This also increases the risk of digitizer damage so it's worth the extra few seconds it takes to make sure it stays down.
put new screens on my kids ipods worked at first now they wont power on no noise when plugged in or nothing even tryied reset option what should i do please help
I changed the screen of my son's Ipod touch 4th. The kit I received did not include new adhesive so I ordered one. I received 3M 300LSE pad, not already trimmed. I think I did a really fear job. I cleaned the Ipod very well to. I heated it when I applied it back. The Ipod gets back to its place without problem but it doesn't seal well. My feeling is that the double-sided tape is too thin. I can see on website that 3M 300LSE has different thickness. Suggestion of double-sided tape to use? Or a place to buy efficient precut adhesive. André
You will see alot of this 3m double side tape sold with screen displays on ebay. To put it simply, its junk! In order to get a good tight seal you need to use epoxy.
If you need someone to help try our main site at http://www.ipodrefresh.com
So I wasn't that crazy. You share the same vision then me. I thought many times that epoxy would be the way but I was scared to use it. So far, very hard casing have been the way to keep it together...
How do I fix the cable/wire that wraps around and goes to the velum and power assembly and how to remove the entire logic board.

The Smart Woman's Guide to Diabetes
by Amy Stockwell Mercer
Copyright © 2012 by Amy Stockwell Mercer
Excerpt taken from Chapter 6: Dating, Sex, and Marriage
NOTE: Excerpts are provided on dLife.com for informational purposes only. The information contained within will not be updated by dLife and may be outdated. Please consult your doctor before acting on anything described here.
When to Talk About Diabetes With Your Date
Jennifer Ahn is fairly open with her diabetes when it comes to dating:
When I was dating, it would depend on how I met the person. I usually would let them know about my diabetes prior to meeting. If it was a blind date, however, I would refrain from telling them until it looked like it was going well. I met my current significant other (my fianc) online. After exchanging a few emails, I shared with him my background, as we were planning our first date and going biking. I didn't want him to be alarmed if something happened during the ride. He appreciated my openness and asked some questions, that is, what to do if something did happen, how it affected me, and so forth. He asked whether it was the one I took for or insulin. It wasn't a big deal to me. It was nice to have it out in the open. There was no shame or embarrassment.
For Lesley Hoffman Goldenberg, sharing her secret was a little more uncomfortable:
When I first started dating my husband, I was so nervous to tell him I had diabetes. We got drinks and then dinner for our first date, and I ate the entire meal and then snuck into the bathroom to give myself insulin. Not a good idea ––my sugar spiked up really high that night. For our second date, we went out o lunch and I did the same thing––ate two sushi rolls and took insulin like an hour later. I was on shots at the time, so it wasn't as easy as it is now with my pump. I decided to tell him on our third date. After discussing it with multiple friends and my mom for hours, I decided that straightforward, nonchalant, and simple was the way to go (ironically, those are three adjectives I would never, ever use to describe diabetes). Anyway, we grabbed slices of pizza, and I said, "By the way, I have diabetes and I take insulin before I eat. It's totally not a big deal, just wanted you to know." (Ha, not a big deal!) He said something really nice and sensitive like, "Oh, okay, I have a coworker with diabetes so I know a little bit about it. Thanks for telling me."
Ann Rosenquist Fee says that she has managed to keep diabetes out of the bedroom:
I was diagnosed just before my 3rd wedding anniversary. This summer, we'll celebrate our 25th. In those 17 years, diabetes has been less disruptive to my sex life than the glasses I wear at night, or the mouth guard I use to keep from grinding my teeth when I sleep.
I don't wear an insulin pump, so as long as I can tell the difference between the flush/sweat/rapid pulse of lust and the flush/sweat/rapid pulse of hypoglycemia (I usually can and in case not, I've got glucose tablets in a drawer right next to the lube), diabetes stays out of my bed.
How does a woman feel sexy with a plastic pump attached to her legs, lower back, stomach, or arms? When your husband, boyfriend, or girlfriend puts their hand around your back, how do you feel when they brush against your pump? Do the bruises on your stomach from injections make you feel less desirable? Does the extra weight make you want to dress in loose, less revealing clothing?
Having sex for the first time can be an exciting, embarrassing, and overwhelming event. For young women with diabetes, the fact that we have to think about our blood sugar and/or medical supplies getting in the way can create additional feelings of self-consciousness. Diabetes may keep some women from rushing into having sex, whereas diabetes may act as a catalyst for others. For the rest, like Ann, diabetes won't make a difference under the sheets at all.
My personal theory is that in order to feel sexy and fully enjoy sex, we need to feel pride instead of shame when it comes to our physical selves. I think, many women with diabetes are often at war with their bodies. We deny ourselves of food in order to be thin, beat ourselves up when we eat more than we think we should, and when we look in the mirror, we only see things we don't like. As women with chronic illnesses, we are constantly "battling" our bodies into submission, we are "waging a war" against blood sugars, and war is not sexy. We treat our bodies like scientific experiments, and our sexual satisfaction will not increase when we learn to be kind to ourselves and honor our physical selves. Having good sex and feeling sexy doesn't come naturally for a lot of women, and if we want to get good at it, it'll take practice. We need to learn to visualize our physical selves as healthy, strong, and sexy.
Research has shown that up to 35% of adult women with type 1 diabetes report sexual dysfunction. Dr. Albright says there is not a lot of research about women, diabetes, and sexuality. " It appears as it is not as much about the complications or the blood sugar-blood pressure relationship that affects sexuality. It is shaped much more by confidence in yourself and by depression, and your relationship with your partner."
Lesley Hoffman Goldenberg says that there were a lot of other things to be self-conscious about, aside from wearing a pump.
Rachel Garlinghouse says that diabetes has taught her how important it is to take care of and be king to her body:
I have curves and a healthy, able body. The most important thing is good health––not a number on the scale or a dress size. I appreciate how hard my body works with me, and I don't get caught up in insecurities, which will only hamper my diabetes progress. I have far too much going on in my life to stand in front of the mirror and pick out what I don't like about my body.
Diabetes educator and type 1 diabetic Claire Blum says:
I believe it is important for women to know that decreased sex drive is not necessarily a part of having diabetes. There is conflicting evidence regarding the impact of blood glucose control and sex drive…but there are many variables in the research that have not been controlled for... including the variability of blood glucose (something we see mentioned a bit more now that people have CGM and are learning how to decrease that variability)…and there is evidence that improved glucose control is an important aspect of sexual health.
The endocrinologist that I work with tells women that sexual interest and sex drive are a sign of health...which of course includes the integration of mind, body, and soul…or balance. Good nutrition is an aspect of health that is often neglected with diabetes…with so much emphasis on taking the right amount of insulin and BG management...many women do not realize the importance of proper nutritional intake.
This is one of the areas where I believe proper education and support is of utmost importance. Even though surveys and research may show that women with diabetes often experience a decrease in libido…it is important to recognize that a decrease in sexual desire is not an inherent outcome of diabetes. We can be as healthy, if not healthier, than women who do not have diabetes, Sexual desire is a sign of health, and sensuality, a state of mind that is nurtured when we find balance in care of our body-mind-soul.

I had a work dinner last night with some leadership from my office. I always find diabetes etiquette at these things to be kind of tricky. It was a four course meal, with salad, soup, entree' and dessert and coffee. There was also a selection of gluten free and non-gluten free dinner rolls. I felt way too full of questions for waitress... "Could I get my dressing on the side? How much sugar is in it?" A course later...

Thank you Tommy so much for this thread! This is really sad day for Poland , so many pepole lost their loved ones!
The Polish President, Dignitaries Killed in Plane Crash
(April 10) -- Poland's president, his wife and some of the country's most prominent military and civilian leaders died this morning when their plane crashed while coming in for a landing in thick fog in western Russia.
Russian and Polish officials gave differing death tolls but agreed there were no survivors.
President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria were heading to Russia's Smolensk region to mark the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre, where Soviet secret police killed thousands of Polish officers during World War II.
We are very sadden by this news, our hearts and prayers go out to you and your country today.
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...

Federal & State Issues
Legislative and Regulatory Issues and Actions
To stay on top of federal issues that affect dentistry and the public's oral health, the ADA maintains a staff of legislative and policy experts close to Capitol Hill. Proximity, experience and representation of the vast majority of dentists make the ADA uniquely effective in lobbying for the dental profession.
Many other critical issues are decided by legislators and regulators at the state level. Although the ADA does not lobby at the state level, we do provide expertise and resources to help state dental societies create and effectively pursue their own policy agendas.
At both the federal and state levels of government, we constantly monitor legislation and, when appropriate, engage in the debate, fighting for laws and regulations that matter to dentists and the patients they serve.

Going full time
Sat, 08/3/13 12:30 PM
How did you guys go full time? Did you slowly work into it or did you jump in head first? I currently work 6 days a week 60 hours a week for my day job and go vend thursday & saturday nights 10pm-2am. I'm doing well during those shifts making around half of my take home pay from my day job in just those 2 shifts. My wife runs a small at etsy business but I earn the majority of our income. We don't have a huge savings right now and have been using the additional money to pay off some bills to put us in a better spot to go full time.
Part of me wants to dive right in and just do it but the other part of me wants to be financially responsible and not risk a guaranteed gig for a gig that will definitely be up and down.

This is a good post, because it brings up a lot of issues.
First question.....eased in cuz I wanted to test the market. Had some savings, tho unemployed. Knew I had to start making some money. No 60 hr. a week job. No income. If you have that, I suggest you save every dime you can. Cut down every bill you pay. Get out of debt. Live frugal. Put 8 monthes living expences in the bank.
Your midnite shift seems to work, how you gonna expand that? Got other things lined up?
Do you you have small children you need to feed?
Do you like your day job?
You seem to have energy, since you work so much.
Let's let others chime in.

Hi, I was wondering how cold it got up there in the winter? Just south of Indianapolis, I would probably take winters off if possible if I could afford to. I'm retired with a pension check coming in every month so I'm trying to compare apples to oranges. Good luck to you whatever you decide to do.

Reading your post i dont think you can do it. Reasons are you are the najority earner medical benefits with your full time job? If she were the majority income and you had health benefits under her plan i would say yes.....you must know this business by now and conclude it can be very inconsistent, you are in maine? Severe winter weather may hurt your biz ...say the bar closes...it seems to risky at this point to lose your day job it may sound tempting when you make 3 hundred a nite but for most vendors that is not one two or 300 a day 5-7 days a week thru the year its up and down no guarantees

here is how it worked for me...i used to work a 40 hour week at a hospital my wife works 40 hours at her job, after a year or so of going out a few days after work and weekends with my push cart i changed my status at work to '' casual'' i only work weekends(most employers wont let you do this) my wife retains her 40 hour job and i am under her health plan(health insurance was a main concern)....i take the food truck out tues-fri and she does the truck weekends while i am at my job we have been doing this for a bunch of years ....the important point is that i am able to change my status back to full or part time at any time if the food business went sour which it did not....i am pretty much off the truck thru out the winter so that was concern but again im fortunate to be able to pick up extra shifts during the winter....again in my opinion if anyone is going to give up a day job and rely on hot dogs to pay all the bills you better have a daily long line of customers

Re:Going full time
Sun, 08/4/13 6:12 PM
While I am the majority earner I do not have insurance benefits. They are too costly through my job so we go uninsured and pay cash at the Drs.
I don't like my job and my employer tried to get me to stop selling hot dogs in my free time once they found out I was doing it. So I have no problem getting done.
I have a 2year old daughter to take care of but I also miss out on a great deal of her life working 6 days a week. Some weeks I don't see her for days at a time. I know if I could sell hot dogs full time and make a living I'd be able to spend more time with her and my wife.
The bar rush is currently fairly steady and profitable. There's no threat of the bars closing because it's basically a cluster of a dozen or so bars and our city has a huge night life. I wouldn't be focusing solely on working late night if I went full time. I currently can only get out Thursday and Saturday because of my schedule on Friday's So I miss a very busy night each week when I could be out selling dogs. I would be doing thursday-saturday late night and then working days Monday-Friday. I have a few spots scoped out as well as being able to set up on city property. I also could line up enough events throughout most of the year to bring in more cash. If I didn't have a full time job I'd be able to sell the catering/party side more because I would have the time to do.
I know the weather will affect me business in the winter. I figure I'd more than likely lose January-February altogether and December and March would be spotty. I could easily fill this income with holiday work.
My ultimate goal is to grow into a concession trailer and spend the fall doing county fairs in our state.
I think I'm going to finish out this year with my original plan like Jcheese said. Pay off my debt and get my monthly expenses as low as I can. That will set us up to be in a better spot to go full time.

Well good luck i hope you make out...im wary that you have a 2 yr old with no insurance a few illnesses would really hurt unless you get some state/fed money, also keep im mind planning zoning and police are always wanting to change an ordinance hopefully you live in an area that welcomes street vending

The city I'm in is VERY street vendor friendly. I pay my yearly dues and I can set up on public property with very few restrictions.
As for the insurance aspect I already don't have it so it's not like I'd be losing anything. My job offers insurance for me and my family at the tune of $250.00 a month or $1,000 a month. Then its a $6,000 dollar deductible before the insurance even kicks in.
We don't get state or federal assistance as we make too much under the income guidelines. We just don't really go to the doctors unless its an absolute necessity or for my daughters routine check ups. When we do go I pay cash. I know if something horrible happened to any of us we'd be screwed but at this point in my life it's a risk I have to take.

Another good post from Silly.
No insurance, that's moot.
Hate your job, good motivation.
Missing out on 2 y/o child.....you'll lay on your deathbed and regret that.
Finish out the year paying down your debts, saving money.
Set a date in the Spring while marketing all Winter.
Can your wife run the cart alone?
Maybe an option to ease in.

Sounds like you are ready to jump in...hating your day job is a very good reason,thinking you will have more time with your daughter well thats to be seen depending upob how sucessfull you become you have to put in long hours,also right now your few days a week are fun and extra money...when you go full time the fun may fade and now your under the gun to bring in cash and as you know it will be hard work...are you going to plan on taking the safe serve course to sell burgers fries etc in the trailer? My buisiness really jumped when i did that , but the drawback is i have zero free time in the spring/summer

summers in portland are good, but once the end of September beginning of October comes around expect sales to drop off significantly. Unless you are doing events there isn't much in the way of street vending.
come fall and winter that will cut to between half to 1/4 of that depending on the weather.
All i am saying is have a backup plan for the cold months. I substitute teach when the weather gets bad.

said, Get out of Debt FIRST, put what you need to live on for 8 months, (Or more) in savings and then re-evaluate what to do. I would not recommend it before you do that.
Do you do the kind of work that you could return to easily?
I think you'll need a Plan B for the winter months. You'll need to keep the Cash Flowing.

If I leave on good terms I can probably work part time for the company I'm at. I'm also looking into an early morning paper route. They pay really well for only being a few hours a day.
I've been looking into a lunch spot in a different city. The city is fine with my operating there but I don't want to approach the property owner to see what they think since I can't do lunch there right now. But I think it could be a very profitable spot to hit a couple days a week.

Top_Dog - I will be getting doing more if I move to a trailer. I want to do deep fried bacon wrapped dogs, bacon wrapped corn dogs, burgers, fries, fried pickles, etc. My long term plan is to run the hot dog stand for a few years, add a trailer to the business and work the cart most of the year and then in the fall use the trailer to hit the fairs for 4-5 weeks straight. I'll also use it for other larger festivals during other parts of the year.

No. 1 Terps men suffer first loss of year, 4-2
The No. 1 Maryland men's soccer team surrendered two goals after a second-half red card to drop its first match of the year, 4-2, at No. 18 Wake Forest on Thursday night. The Terps (14-1-2, 6-1-1 ACC) picked up goals from senior John Stertzer and freshman Christiano Francois but allowed a season-high four goals en route to their first loss of the year. Wake Forest (11-3-4, 4-1-3 ACC) managed two goals, including a penalty kick score, after a red card was issued to senior defender London Woodberry in the 65th minute.
Men's honors: UMBC senior defender Liam Paddock and junior forward Pete Caringi III (Calvert Hall) were named America East Defender of the Year and Striker of the Year, respectively. Caringi, Paddock and senior midfielder Milo Kapor made the All-America East first team; junior midfielder Kadeem Dacres, junior goalkeeper Phil Saunders (Perry Hall) and sophomore defender Oumar Ballo (Archbishop Curley/CCBC-Essex) made the second team; and freshman midfielder Patrick Pato made the rookie team. Paddock, senior midfielder Dave Vaeth (Patapsco) and sophomore midfielder Michael DiCesare made the academic team.
Women: Maryland junior forward Hayley Brock and senior forward Becky Kaplan were named to the All-ACC second team, and midfielder Ashley Spivey (McDonogh) was named to the freshman team. ... Two Navy players and one coach earned top Patriot League honors, Carin Gabarra as Coach of the Year, junior Elizabeth Hoerner as Goalkeeper of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and sophomore Jade Seabrook as Defensive Player of the Year. Hoerner earned a spot on the All-Academic team. Additionally, Hoerner, Seabrook, freshman midfielder Kaylie Davidson and junior forward Paloma Perez made the All-Patriot League first team and junior forward Ashlynn Soellner and sophomore Julie Schumacher made the All-Patriot League second team. ... Sophomore Jamie Hovendon scored at 42:09 as defending champion Salisbury (11-5-1) earned a 1-0 victory over visiting Mary Washington (13-2-3) to advance to the Capital Athletic Conference championship game.
College football
'Maryland Pride' jerseys planned for Saturday
The multi-colored "Maryland Pride" uniforms are expected to return for Saturday's game at Byrd Stadium. The school hasn't yet made an announcement. But officials said the Under Armour-designed uniforms — which made a splash last season — are planned for the Georgia Tech game. The new uniforms will actually show a different color scheme than the ones that debuted in last season's opener against Miami. But the "Pride" helmet — the one that invokes the Maryland state flag — is expected to remain the same.
Terps injury update: Maryland might get some help along the offensive line for Saturday's game. Senior Bennett Fulper, who has missed two games with a foot injury, is listed as questionable. Sophomore Sal Conaboy, who has also missed two games with an ankle problem, is listed as probable. Wide receiver Kerry Boykins (hip-groin) has missed the past three games and is out again. Coach Randy Edsall said Boykins might decide to have surgery.
Honors: Navy senior outside linebacker Keegan Wetzell was named Eastern College Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week after recording a career-high nine tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss and two sacks in Navy's 56-28 rout of East Carolina. Midshipmen freshman kicker Nick Sloan was named Special Teams Player of the Week after going 8-for-8 on extra-point attempts.

College lacrosse
'Aggressive' Loyola slate includes Terps on Feb. 23
Defending NCAA champion Loyola will open its men's college lacrosse season with a pair of road games before commencing its 2013 home schedule on Feb. 23 with a rematch of the national title game against Maryland, coach Charley Toomey announced. "This is the most aggressive schedule that we've put together here at Loyola," Toomey said. The Greyhounds will start the regular season at Delaware on Feb. 16 before taking on Towson three days later. The rematch with Maryland will be the first regular-season game between the two since Loyola defeated the Terps, 10-8, on March 19, 1989.
Men's recruiting: Sophomore attackman JP Crowley of St. Thomas Aquinas High in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has committed orally to Towson. Crowley had 52 goals and 32 assists as a freshman. He also considered Ohio State, Michigan, Stony Brook and Furman.

The Road Warrior
5:11 AM EDT, July 2, 2012
Q: Why are builders allowed to plaster directional signs to their new developments along the roadway and at the exit ramps on routes 22, 191, and other highways? One day in May, on 22 westbound from 191, I counted 13 exit ramps that had two signs each, one for Heritage and one for Harvest Fields in the Macungie area. These signs are posted right along the highway shoulder and at the end of the ramps, some of which resemble garbage dumps. I am a Realtor, and if we all put our signs where the builders have them, you'd have 100 signs at each ramp. Does anyone have to pay for or get permission from PennDOT to place these signs? It seems an unsafe thing to do for whoever is getting out of their vehicle to post them. Of course, there are other signs as well, for junk haulers, kick-boxing, whatever else. In the case of builders or Realtors including myself, there is no need for directional signs because of Internet maps and GPS units to locate the properties. Someone should remove these signs, and/or fine the perpetrators.
— Dennis Snell, Bethlehem
A: Other than official PennDOT traffic signs and other sanctioned state placards such as those used in the Tourist Oriented Directional Signing program, no signs can be posted within PennDOT's right-of-way, which basically means all the signs you describe are illegal, Dennis.
The rule applies to election-campaign signs and others as well, and as you note, many other businesses and commercial interests, not to mention well-meaning nonprofit organizations, promote sales, fundraising events and the like along our roads and highways. Judging by our experience with the political signs, which sprout like weeds in an untended garden twice each year, the enforcement engine is way low on horsepower. The signs — or litter, if you like — are pretty much ignored.
PennDOT workers sometimes remove some of this roadside debris, particularly if it blocks sight-lines, but officials contend they simply don't have enough people to turn the key on a comprehensive sign-removal campaign.
"It would be pretty much a full-time job," a regional PennDOT manager told me some years ago. That's still the case, according to PennDOT spokesman Ron Young, and I don't doubt it based on the number of signs I see along the road. If anything, the situation's gotten worse, as your observations attest, Dennis.
Regarding the "open house" and other home-sale ads in particular, some builders, Realtors, sales associates or their agents — whoever pulls the duty of physically posting the signs — seem to be distributing them in advance of the weekends, and removing them afterward. That's what I found after your question steered its way onto the top floor of my email parking deck, Dennis. I scouted for the signs on Route 22 a couple of times and found no trace of them — though some "Got Junk?" placards for a cleanup service, and signs from a few other commercial entities, were out there and still are.
I noticed the multitude of real-estate signs, by chance, on a recent Sunday drive to the Stroudsburg area on a different Warrior mission, only then realizing that my initial searches were made on weekdays. That Sunday, signs directing motorists to Kay Builders' Laurel Field development and to Heritage Builders' Highgate community, both in Upper Macungie Township, appeared at virtually every westbound interchange from routes 191 to 309, where they directed drivers south on 309 to west on Tilghman Street toward the developments. Zawarski & Sons had signs on northbound Route 33 from Route 22 to the 191 interchange, where they directed motorists to 191 toward the company's several developments in that area.
The real-estate signs proliferate on weekends and disappear during the week, and that's good in one sense, Dennis: At least they're not on duty 24/7, nor are they left as semi-permanent roadside litter like some of the campaign signs. But it must be challenging to post and remove them safely each week. I assume the agents are parking as far off the highway as possible on the shoulders, or on the off-road interchange areas, and that they're re-entering the travel lanes from a dead stop with care. If they work at night, I trust they keep their headlights on and use their four-way flashers, and wear the reflective green vests (the latter even in daylight). In addition, the signs could be distracting to motorists. I found it hard to read the details on some of them, which forced me to slow down and focus on them for the few seconds available as I passed.
Rick Koze of Kay Builders said the signs are extremely important to builders and home-sellers, providing not only directions that many people use, but consumer information, a vital factor particularly at a time when the real-estate business has been running on fumes. Not everyone has GPS, and even those who do can count on the signs to ensure they're on the right track, Koze said. And he added that GPS can be distracting in itself, possibly as much or more so than the signs.
"I understand the concern," he said, but added that complaints are few and the signs clearly help sell homes, sustaining his and other businesses and keeping people working. "It does help you sell homes, and if I don't [sell homes], I've got to lay hundreds of people off," he said. Kay's signs sometimes are posted by Kay employees, but sign-making businesses also provide the service, Koze said — a service that's not inexpensive. He estimated the sticker price for his company's sign placement and removal at an annual $50,000.
Again, it's not just home sellers foisting this kind of diversion upon us. Many other companies and organizations contribute. On June 25, while investigating an unrelated matter at Schoenersville and Macada roads in Bethlehem, I noticed a sign much like the "open house" placards displayed at the intersection's southwest corner. "Historic Bethlehem House Tour," it read. "Rooms to View," with a toll-free number for information. The date of the event? June 2.

Key Messages:
- Think about how much information you would like to know about your type of cancer, and share this information with your doctor.
- Use this list to generate ideas of questions you'd like to ask - you don't have to ask every question.
- Consider writing down your questions before the appointment.
Being informed and asking questions gives you some control over your cancer and may help you cope. Studies show that people with cancer who are fully informed about their disease and treatment options usually tend to fare better and have fewer side effects than those who simply follow doctors' orders. Some people feel overwhelmed by too much information, or do not want to know as many details about their condition. Think about how much information is right for you.
Getting answers to your questions
Your doctor should make time to answer your questions and explain the treatment options. Here are some tips to help you communicate better with your doctor:
- Tell your doctor if you are having trouble understanding an explanation, description, or unfamiliar medical words. Sometimes, the doctor may be able to draw a picture or give an example.
- Consider writing your questions down before your appointment, which can lower your level of stress and help make the most of your visit.
- Bring a notebook or a tape recorder to the appointment. During the appointment, write down your doctor's answers, or ask a family member or friend to write them down for you. This way, you can read or listen to the information later.
- If you are interested in seeking a second opinion, let your doctor know. Most doctors fully understand the value of a second opinion and are not offended when patients seek one. They may even be able to suggest another doctor.
- Ask your doctor or nurse where you can find additional information or printed materials about your condition. Many offices have this information readily available.
- Talk with your health care team about information you have found on the Internet or in books or magazines. Not all information is accurate and reliable. Learn more about evaluating cancer information on the Internet.
Suggested questions to ask the doctor

- What information will these tests tell us?
- How can I prepare myself for each test or procedure?
- Where do I need to go to have this test?
- When will I get the results? How will I get the results (over the phone, at the next appointment, etc.)?
- Can you explain my pathology report (laboratory test results) to me?
- If I seek a second opinion, will I have to repeat any tests or procedures?
- How much information about my diagnosis should I share, and at what time, with my friends and loved ones?
- What is the stage of my cancer? What does this mean?
- Has cancer spread to my lymph nodes or anywhere else?
- How is staging used to find out cancer treatment?
- What is my prognosis (chance of recovery)?

- How much experience do you (or the treatment team) have treating this type of cancer?
- Will I need to be hospitalized for treatment, or is this treatment done in an outpatient clinic?
- What is the expected timeline for my treatment plan? Do I need to be treated right away?
- How will this treatment affect my daily life? Will I be able to work, exercise, and perform my usual activities?
- What are the short-term side effects of this treatment?

With temperatures lingering in the teens this winter many people are relying on their wood stoves and fireplaces for heat.
To ease the burden on people who aren't able to buy or cut their own firewood, LifePoint Church and Signature Landscapes have teamed up to provide free firewood to anyone in need.
"LifePoint Church does a lot of things in the community, and felt donating firewood was a need," said Tim Scott, church member and Signature Landscapes employee. "We like helping out through Signature because we like to give back as well."
The landscape company takes wood they removed from …
